One of the first MAPs created for kindergarten when Mrs. Hoerr thought that the Daily 5 was a good idea.  ​

Ms. Ward and Ms. Hoerr team taught for a year.  In this video you will see 43 students working during Reading Rockshop.  
This is an example of how our students knew where they were to work each day.  On the left are mostly 2nd grade, and the right are 1st graders; however, we would strategically place students to accommodate differentiation.  

Student need and behavior both went into determining groups.
